Sinister - mysterious - it shaped the lives and loves and hates of the people who lived around its edges!!"; "Produced by Irving Pichel"; "From the story by Vereen Bell") starring Walter Brennan, Walter Huston, Anne Baxter (in her fourth movie role!), Dana Andrews, Virginia Gilmore, John Carradine, Mary Howard, Eugene Pallette, Ward Bond, and Guinn 'Big Boy' Williams NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this half-sheet, and only one in the last 8 years. That last example has now been reconsigned to us, so it is still only one of two examples we have ever auctioned! Also note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Note that because this poster was paperbacked onto a thicker paper backing, it CAN'T be sent rolled (someone could conceivably roll it or try to do so, but we think it would have a strong chance of lessening its condition, so we will only send it in a very large flat package, unless the buyer insists, and then they would be responsible for any damage). What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfold and some creases, scuffs, and fine surface paper loss on the folds. It had paper loss in the middle of the right blank border, with some pinholes in the rest of the borders. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was well backed, but someone attached a tiny piece of clear tape to the center of both the top and bottom blank borders (it will not show if the poster is framed, or any talented amateur could easily remove them).
